Some Arch Linux users have noticed that install.sh fails if they booted using live media and the ESP is mounted to /boot (a pretty common scenario when installing).
The problem is that the FindMountedESP() function runs
grep "$InstallDir" /etc/mtab
And for Arch, the path of the live media also contains the substring "/boot", so the script gets confused and gives some nonsensical error. The fix is just to grep for whole words:

There's some discussion of this on the Arch wiki.

Thanks for the bug report. I've added a fix to my in-development version.
